General Info on Lead Backing for Penetrations
Standards: Comply with requirements of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report No. 49“ Structural Shielding Design and Evaluation for Medical Use of X-Rays and Gamma Rays of Energies up to 10 MeV”, and NCRP Report No. 147 “Structural Shielding Design for Medical X-Ray Imaging Facilities”.
Comply with lead shielding equivalents as specified by the qualified health radiation physicist report for this particular project.
All penetrations in lead lined walls must be properly backed with sheet lead of same thickness as on surrounding wall with proper overlaps as required.
Where outlet boxes, junction boxes, ducts, conduit and similar items prevent the use of shields, provide lead sleeves or lead lining or backing as required with proper overlaps. Lead lining, sleeves, shields and backing is required to be the same thickness of lead as the wall partition that each penetration occurs in.
All penetrations in lead lined ceilings such as light fixtures, HVAC, fire sprinklers, diffusers, ducts, etc. must be properly backed with lead of same thickness as in ceiling with proper overlaps. Lead Lined access panels to be installed where required to provide continuous radiation protection
